Fired up the runner for the first time in about 6 months. Hooked up the battery, turn the key on and VROOOOOM!

I forgot how good that thing sounds. Today Jackson and I took it for a spin out the trails at our farm. I left him drive for a while. For a 12 year old, he's pretty good!

Then we took to the quads. He kicks butt on them. I putted along in the Artic Cat 4x4 but I can't keep up with him on the Mongoose.

The rain held off just long enough for us to finish riding, clean off the quads and put them back under cover.

That's a fun afternoon!

The Willy's is here. Stripped everything off and painted it. Put a new windshield frame on it but it won't work with the cage - have to figure out that one. It's ready to go back to Crash, whenever he's ready.

The runner is no longer in show room condition - it's much better LOL. Brad's going to do a little suspension work on it in trade for a boat.

That was another guy in our party that flopped and lost his keys. I got stuck in a mud/ice/water hole that needed more than 40" tires. I was floating.

Starter and rear winch were under water, batteries were fried from winching the other rig over and over.

I think you're crew pulled up and was finally able to get me dragged out to where I could get started again.

It was the BLAST Club who pulled up, it took two winches on the front to pull you out of that hole. Everyone has "been there done that" lessons learned :frown:

I'm shocked it started, when I saw it the other day it looked like it may never start again :haha:

Well at least you had time to get out, I think I've had four weekends off since January. :redneck:
